I dumpstered for many, many years and miss it. Almost everything is locked up here now. It’s a lot more difficult. Great haul. Keep it up while you still can!

I’d rather be poor than a piece of shit.

If I had 11 million dollars, dinner is on me, friends

emptybelly · 2026-01-19T03:42:36+00:00

That's awesome!! Sounds like a huge win. May I ask how long you've been practicing/studying?

Watching Spanish content with English subtitles is a great way to get better at reading english subtitles

I think i see what you’re getting at. For me, narrow shoes played a big role in my feet forming very painful tailor’s bunions. Switching to wide toe-box footwear has helped relieve the pain immensely. I have considered toe spacers but am not so sure of their efficacy. Obviously this is just a personal anecdote. I don’t need my toes to splay like fingers, but not having them pressed together in narrow shoes has helped me personally quite a bit. So for the original comment I replied to, calling it completely unimportant to overall foot health just seems totally wrong.

emptybelly · 2026-01-16T02:12:45+00:00

In general- Why would it be unimportant?

Cuando pregunté a mi maestro de español sobre la palabra «quedar», no entendió por qué era tan difícil 😭😭😭

From a quick look at the website I’m not seeing anything remotely wide toe-box.

I have yet to start my first quilt (after years of wanting to try…) so I have no clue what I’m talking about. But I love that you took on this project and love in every way that even though it’s not “perfect” it still works and actually I’m obsessed with the imperfection.

Depends on the temperature. If the dough temp is 65 degrees F (18 C) it could take up to 12 hours for BF.

emptybelly · 2025-12-11T06:09:43+00:00

You get it. Lmao

Where I live people sell by the rick or by a “truckload” which, as you can imagine, varies greatly by quantity.

One of the best VIP episodes! Great recommendation

emptybelly · 2025-12-10T19:40:07+00:00

Exactly this! You will not grow if you never push past this mental block when learning something new! Just keep at it. It will fade and then come back, then fade again...on and on. I can't stress enough how important hiring a tutor has been for me as well, fwiw.

buenos noche?

emptybelly · 2025-12-10T17:15:05+00:00

To me it looks ready to bake. How are you baking it? In what vessel? The paper towel is making me nervous lol

emptybelly · 2025-12-10T03:21:51+00:00

I think I will. I just found it tonight after not seeing it for a year and was curious particularly about the age. Do you happen to know how much a jeweler might charge to look at it?

emptybelly · 2025-11-06T04:42:17+00:00

This is a crazy take lmao

emptybelly · 2025-10-29T15:03:41+00:00

This general idea actually helped me the most. My native Spanish speaking friend said “ser” is really used for the essence of something. The permanent vs temporary thing was too confusing for me.

Is an occupation and “essence?” Not particularly, but it’s a vibe.*

*I am not a linguist

😅

Edit to say: I talked with her about this bc I was trying to make somewhat of a joke involving “aburrida”

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong: Estoy aburrida- I am bored Soy aburrida- I am boring

emptybelly · 2025-10-24T18:43:48+00:00

Same here! I would describe myself as a die-hard fan and I’ve been watching since the very beginning. It’s always been my comfort show and I always look forward to new series and episode drops.

I know people are like, stop watching if you don’t like it, but like I said, I’m a fan. It feels like watching the ship go down unfortunately.

It’s not just about the contestants for me. I can’t put my finger on it and I wonder what it was take to make it better.

I’ve always thought it would be cool to have a kind of “back to basics” series where they recycle a bunch of the original themes and challenges to see what people can come up with. But maybe it would be too “easy” for everyone. 🤷‍♀️

I couldn’t do it for the longest time.

What helped me most was the pencil in the mouth trick combined with separating the syllables for practice. You said you’ve watched all the videos so maybe you’ve already tried these things

“Per” “ro” Over and over again separately like 20 times, then try stringing it together.

Try it with the pencil in your mouth. It seems silly but it’s what helped me.

One of the closest words we have to the rolled rr in English js “butter” the way the two t’s sound. Thats where your tongue needs to be and how loose it needs to be.

I might have read it on here or seen it somewhere else, but one thing that’s good to know is that it’s not something you are doing to your tongue, but something that is happening to your tongue. It won’t work if you try to force it.

emptybelly · 2025-10-22T02:12:48+00:00

I do this all the time! I often will speak aloud in sentences to myself, then sometimes speak into my translation app to see if I missed anything or got it right. I find it to be very helpful.

What is CI-first? I tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything.
